historic resource survey

In 2022, the City of San Antonio (COSA) Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) received grant funding from the National Park Service (NPS) Underrepresented Community Grant Program (URC) to conduct a survey. The historic resources survey examined five historically Black neighborhoods within a 3-mile radius of downtown San Antonio: the Westside Enclaves, Denver Heights, East Denver Heights, Harvard Place/Eastlawn, and Lincoln Heights.

The purpose of the survey was to identify potential local, state, and federal designations and to increase awareness and shape decisions about endangered sites, buildings, landscapes, and viewsheds.
